agarche wusat-e-imkan nazar mein chhod gaya
safar ka shauq ghubar-e-safar mein chhod gaya

kuchh aise guzra hai pagal hawa ka ek jhonka
ajib khauf sa ek ek shajar mein chhod gaya

bichhadte waqt jo us ne kaha tha chupke se
wo ek lafz mujhe rahguzar mein chhod gaya

na aahaten na sadaen na dastaken na umid
na jaane kaun tha kuchh bhi na ghar mein chhod gaya

ubharte dubte guzri tamam shab 'anjum'
udas chand mujhe kis bhanwar mein chhod gaya
